Chapter 32: Do Villains Even Need to Remember Their Roots?
Lin Qingyue, who had turned himself pitch black, was drenched to the core, completely becoming a drowned rat.
He reached out and wiped away the wet hair and water blocking his eyes. “Who is it!!!”
A cold yet familiar voice rang out. He looked up to see Ye Jingxian, instantly demonstrating what “flying into a rage out of humiliation” meant.
His lips moved for a long time, but he couldn’t squeeze out half a sentence.
“What, mute now?”
“You’re the one who’s mute.” He spoke through gritted teeth, muttering softly, his eyes bulging round.
Ye Jingxian was amused. He had truly never seen anything like this. Looking at the messy ground and the several pieces of black charcoal, it was indeed somewhat hard to describe.
“What kind of charcoal are you burning at night?”
Lin Qingyue felt a pain in his chest from being choked by these words. What kind of talk was this? What burning charcoal? It was just that the roasted sweet potatoes happened to look very much like charcoal.
With a dark face, he stiffened his neck and explained, “This is called roasting sweet potatoes.”
Whether it was an auditory hallucination or not, he heard the other party scoff. Lin Qingyue turned red all over, except for his eyes—from anger.
“Does Eldest Senior Brother not sleep at night? Nothing better to do than go out and admire the moon?”
Soaking wet, Lin Qingyue was unhappy. He secretly rolled his eyes at him, looked at his drenched clothes, and turned back to his room.
Ye Jingxian watched him turn and leave, slightly stunned, and didn’t speak. He looked at the tragically dead chicken on the ground that had lost all value. With a wave of his hand, he cleaned everything up, then set up a fire rack.
Lin Qingyue, who returned to his room to change, felt he had lost all face today, especially in front of Ye Jingxian.
Hungry and wet, feeling miserable, a pile of ‘beautiful’ language flashed through his mind as he banged on the table in anger.
After changing clothes and seeing his burnt hair, that was true anger.
Curled and yellow, a messy clump. Holding his hair, he could already imagine Yu Qianqian laughing out loud tomorrow.
That wasn’t even the main point. If Yun Jinzhou’s lackeys saw this, they would definitely buzz around like flies again.
“Gurgle~~!”
Clutching his growling stomach, he smelled a fragrance. Without hesitation, Lin Qingyue put on his clothes and walked out.
Ye Jingxian was roasting a chicken. The color was golden yellow, looking just right to eat. Lin Qingyue swallowed his saliva, forcing himself to look away.
On second thought, no. Why should he look away? This was a chicken roasted on his turf; he deserved a share. Asking for a venue fee wasn’t excessive at all.
His hesitating appearance was seen by Ye Jingxian. He took the chicken down. Lin Qingyue’s eyes never left it for a second; what he was thinking was plainly written in his eyes.
“Why are you still standing there? Eating a meal… do I have to personally feed it into your mouth?”
Hearing this, Lin Qingyue almost jumped. He wanted to retort, but stopped, closed his mouth, took the roasted chicken, and waited until it was in his mouth to scoff lightly.
Two grown men, feeding by mouth? Disgusting.
He took a vicious bite of the chicken meat. The taste was actually not bad.
He mumbled vaguely, “It’s alright. Thanks, Eldest Senior Brother.”
Ye Jingxian glanced at him. “What have you been eating before this?”
Lin Qingyue, who was gnawing on a drumstick, looked up, face full of confusion. What did that mean?
Ye Jingxian explained, “You can’t even roast a sweet potato. How did you survive?”
A child who lost his parents’ protection couldn’t even get food, let alone sweet potatoes; he couldn’t even handle a chicken. He didn’t look like an orphan who lost his father young, but like a young master from a wealthy family who knew nothing of the world, never having lifted a finger.
Lin Qingyue slowed down his gnawing. How did he survive? That question was truly interesting.
“Tried every possible way to live.”
How else? Every surgery, every treatment, the constant machines and endless medicine. What was so strange about it?
Hearing his flat tone, Ye Jingxian paused. He hadn’t expected his life to be so bitter.
No wonder. No wonder compared to other entering junior brothers and sisters, he was somewhat thin and pale, and even had a heart ailment he didn’t know about.
Ye Jingxian’s mind was full of images of ‘Little Pity’ Lin Qingyue eating raw food, picking up things others didn’t want, often going hungry. The look in his eyes became complicated.
Seeing his expression suddenly change into something weird, Lin Qingyue felt uncomfortable all over and looked at Ye Jingxian warily.
“Little Junior Brother, don’t worry. I won’t fight you for it.”
At first, he didn’t realize what he was fighting for. When he understood a second later, Lin Qingyue was truly speechless.
The chicken he had eaten was almost just bones, yet he would fight for it? Was he sick?
Lin Qingyue swallowed the food in his mouth and cleared his throat. “Eldest Senior Brother, if you want it, I can give it to you.”
Some people loved gnawing on bones. He could understand. But gnawing on bones someone else had eaten… he didn’t understand, but he respected it.
Ye Jingxian looked at him lovingly. “No need. You eat.”
Lin Qingyue withdrew his hand. Good thing he didn’t want it; otherwise, it would have been awkward.
Seeing him eat earnestly, he was truly hungry. Ye Jingxian roasted two more chickens. Lin Qingyue ate another one, and this time he truly couldn’t eat anymore.
He wiped his mouth. “Eldest Senior Brother, I’m full.”
Hearing this, Ye Jingxian picked up the remaining chicken and began to eat.
Lin Qingyue looked at him, debating how to bring up the matter of learning sword practice with him after today, and not going to the Lecture Hall recently.
If he had just agreed when Ye Jingxian brought it up earlier, he wouldn’t be so awkward now.
Life is unpredictable; indeed, it is.
Hesitating and hesitating, the chicken in Ye Jingxian’s hand was almost finished. He still hadn’t opened his mouth. Seeing him finish eating and getting up to leave, Lin Qingyue hurriedly shouted.
“Eldest Senior Brother.”
Lin Qingyue coughed twice. “After tomorrow, I will practice the sword and cultivate with you.”
He lowered his head. The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became.
Ye Jingxian: “No need.”
He had thought it through. If Little Junior Brother was unwilling, there was no need to force it. Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you.
Hearing his refusal, Lin Qingyue shot his head up. “Why?”
As the Eldest Senior Brother, Ye Jingxian was being too petty, wasn’t he?
“A true man should be generous. Can’t Eldest Senior Brother’s magnanimity be a bit larger?”
Lin Qingyue once again flew into a rage out of humiliation, vividly acting out what it meant to forget one’s roots.
He was a villain now; what was wrong with forgetting his roots?
Ye Jingxian was baffled. “Am I not generous enough like this?”
Getting angry at him, yet putting out the fire to save him and actively roasting chicken for him to eat… that was generous enough. Lin Qingyue couldn’t refute this.
“Th-then, me practicing sword and cultivating with Eldest Senior Brother… wasn’t that something Eldest Senior Brother said himself? How can you go back on your word?”
Lin Qingyue began to argue, “Shizun and Second Senior Sister aren’t here. If you don’t manage me, who will? Besides, we can’t let others know that Eldest Senior Brother goes back on his word. You are the Sect’s Eldest Senior Brother and the executing Senior Brother of the Discipline Hall; you cannot be untrustworthy.”
